Abstract/Summary
This transit-oriented development will help mitigate the housing crisis in California starting with San Luis Obispo at the local level by developing housing for all demographics. The project will be beneficial towards increasing the livability and connectivity of current residents, commuters, and visitors of the San Luis Obispo region. The project will also activate the spaces by providing a walkway and commercial development for people that were previously not present. The proposed development is projected to activate the area, with new amenities, while promoting the site’s existing uses; The existing cafe and restaurant within the project site will not be relocated nor impacted in economic yield as a result of this project.
The TOD project has been designed to protect the historical sites in San Luis Obispo, which includes the Train Station and the Union Pacific building. As the surrounding buildings are designated as historically significant, preserving the style and look of the Train Station area as a whole is significant. An important objective of the project is that the Train Station project site shall conform to the pre-existing Spanish architectural style of the area. The project site is anticipated to blend the proposed development into the surrounding area while complimenting the current uses and architectural style.
